The Albino Heckelii Geophagus (technically Acarichthys heckelii) is a rare, peaceful South American cichlid. Known for its delicate filamentous fins and distinctive red eyes, it is highly sought after for its "earth-eating" sand-sifting behavior, where it scoops up and sifts substrate to forage for food.
